Job summary

Attention is seeking a software engineer in New York to drive end-to-end design and implementation of product features. You will write clean, scalable Go code and collaborate with product, design, and engineering to turn specs into reality.

You’ll work with Go, Postgres, Kubernetes, AWS, Kafka, Redis, and Temporal workflows to ship reliable features. Bring autonomy, strong design fundamentals, and a passion for scalable systems in a fast-paced startup.

Qualifications

• 2+ years industry experience as a Software Engineer.
• Fluency in an AI-forward SDLC - using LLMs/agents to move fast without sacrificing production-grade quality.
• Experience with one or more of: Go (or comparable strongly-typed backend language); Distributed systems / infra & scaling; LLM harnesses / agentic systems; Concurrent or async processing.
• Strong fundamentals in software design principles (SOLID or equivalent).
• High degree of autonomy - able to tackle ambiguous problems and ship solutions with minimal hand-holding.
• Testing, monitoring, and reliability aren’t a separate step - they’re built into your coding.
• Comfortable owning a feature end-to-end, front-to-back, when needed.

Responsibilities

• Drive end-to-end design and implementation of product requirements including task break-down, delivery, testing, monitoring, and maintenance.
• Consistently generate simple and elegant designs, and write high-quality code that can be easily understood and leveraged by others.
• Collaborate with product, design, and the rest of engineering to turn feature/product specs into reality.
• Influence the features and direction of the platform with your own ideas and identify opportunities to improve business processes.
• Run the full software development lifecycle - problem definition, design, development, testing, demoing and supporting production use of the features you own.
• Balance immediate business objectives against long-term architectural vision.

Job description

About Attention

At Attention, we’re transforming how go-to-market teams operate by turning every customer interaction into structured data, insights, and intelligent action. Our AI agents help organizations execute faster, learn continuously, and make every deal cycle more efficient and predictable.

What makes Attention exciting isn’t just the technology, it’s the moment and the mission. We’re building at the intersection of AI, automation, and the modern revenue stack, redefining how critical work gets done for years to come. This is a rare opportunity to build at an inflection point in both our company and the broader AI ecosystem.

We’re scaling quickly with strong product-market fit and support from world-class investors. The work is ambitious, the bar is high, and the opportunity for growth across personal, professional, and financial dimensions is unmatched. Our team is sharp, collaborative, and deeply committed to the mission. We move fast, operate with intensity, and take real ownership from early ideas through long-term outcomes.

If you thrive in ambiguity, push for excellence, and want to help shape the future of work alongside a team that raises the bar every day, we’d love for you to build with us.

What you’ll do:

• Drive end-to-end design and implementation of product requirements including task break-down, delivery, testing, monitoring, and maintenance.

• Consistently generate simple and elegant designs, and write high-quality code that can be easily understood and leveraged by others.

• Collaborate closely with product, design, and the rest of engineering to turn feature/product specs into reality.

• Influence the features and direction of the platform with your own ideas and proactively identify opportunities to improve business processes.

• Run the full software development lifecycle - problem definition, design, development, testing, demoing and supporting production use of the features you own.

• Balance immediate business objectives against long-term architectural vision.

What we look for:

Must have:

• 2+ years industry experience as a Software Engineer

• Fluency in an AI-forward SDLC - using LLMs/agents to move fast without sacrificing production-grade quality

• Experience with one or more of:

  • Go (or comparable strongly-typed backend language)

  • Distributed systems / infra & scaling

  • LLM harnesses / agentic systems

  • Concurrent or async processing

• Strong fundamentals in software design principles (SOLID or equivalent) and knowing when to apply them

• High degree of autonomy - comfortable taking an ambiguous problem to a well-reasoned design and shipped solution with minimal hand-holding

• Testing, monitoring, and reliability aren't a separate step - they're built into how you write code

• Comfortable owning a feature end-to-end, front-to-back, when the problem calls for it

Culture:

• Passionate about Attention’s mission; the ability to empathize with our users and how they'll use our product.

• Prior experience building, launching and maintaining products in a fast-paced environment and at scale.

• Enjoying working cross-functionally and collaboratively with both internal and external stakeholders.

• Grit and adaptability; ability to thrive working with an early-stage team and navigating the unknown.

Our Tech Stack:
